For the headlights, that's how Nissan runs it, but that's not how I would run it. The way you have it, you're drawing 30A through your headlight combo switch. This is not ideal.

I would run the headlight switch to the control pins of a relay, and then have that relay pull 30A straight to the headlights. Don't flow that much current to the switch.

I'm also putting the headlights on te Accessories circuit, which means headlights won't come on when it's OFF. I don't ever recall having a situation where I needed the headlights on with the engine off.
Yeah the Red/white wire goes to the cluster. (charge bulb) basically if that wire does not see 12V it wont charge the battery. that is the signal wire for the regulator.

the 2 white wires go straight to the battery its the Lead or what charges the battery, the Inline 75A fusible link is for safety. in case anything goes wrong (factory design?)

about the headlights i see what you are talking about and yeah it makes alot of sence, I'll change that arround tonight / later on today. but i will like to skill keep thenm constant 12V because i do sometimes use them w/o hte motor running.
